Wow! Apparently nothing inspires me to look for a new part time job then to see how much money I could save in the next 3 years. The company I work for is closing. It's sad since I really liked the people I worked with. It doesn't seem as bad as when I lost my last position due to automating my job since I'm currently in school. I just want another part time job so I can save some more money and support my yarn habit.
On a knitting note, I had planned to frog some of my projects that I hadn't touched for ages. I unravelled the Tree of Life socks since I have no clue where I was in the pattern. I reached for the Daybreak Shawl that I had started in 2013 (I didn't even realize it had been that long) but I saw that I was practically finished so I picked it up this week and just finished it today. I still need to block it and such and take a decent picture of it but YAY! A shawl for me!
Next project to work on furiously is my sister's Valentine's Day Cowl that I'm happy that I didn't do in Valentine Colours. I got to finish by Friday, along with studying for 4 tests and working 3 days. This should be a fun week.

I'm not really sure how I feel today
I'm currently unemployed (company decided to obliterate my department) and I still haven't found a new job. Kinda hard to when you don't even want to think about the concept of rejection.
So I've been spending my time knitting my mother's long awaited Multnomah Shawl which is looking decidedly short, knitting a pair of Wanida Socks for my aunt, watching DVDs with my DVD player that I've had for ages but have only recently started using (more 'Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman'). Been doing a lot of reading and wanting to write, only to have my NetBook spontaneously decide to leave me a blank document instead.
I'm contemplating things like my living arrangements. While I do love my mother and I like living with my family, I want to be more independent and get my own place, which for me would mean moving an hour away to my 'ideal' city. I can't really do that until my brother is more stable with his income (and I get another job of course, hopefully in the city I want to live in).
As if that's not enough, I do want to go back to school and finish something, whether it be diploma or degree, don't know, don't care. But I want to do this on my own which will require a lot of planning. I'm good at planning, not so good with the follow through so we'll see how well this goes once the planning phase is done.
I'm one of those people who generally prefers to be alone and I come from a family who are majority social butterflies, constantly wanting to talk and go out places and talk to lots of people. Im quite fine to stay in my room and hang out with myself.
